In a shocking development, authorities have discovered that three babies abandoned in London over the past seven years are siblings. The first child, known as Baby Harry, was found in a London park in 2017. Two years later, Baby Roman was discovered under similar circumstances. Most recently, in January 2024, Baby Elsa was found abandoned in Newham, London, when she was less than an hour old.
DNA tests confirmed that all three children share the same parents, who have yet to be identified. Metropolitan Police have released CCTV footage of a woman seen near the site where Baby Elsa was found, hoping the public can help identify her. Detective Inspector Jamie Humm emphasized the importance of finding the parents, stating that the welfare and privacy of the children are paramount.
Judge Carol Atkinson lifted reporting restrictions on the case, citing significant public interest that might assist police in their inquiries. The abandonment of a child is a rare event in the UK, making this case even more unusual and drawing considerable attention from both the public and the media.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the parents or the circumstances leading to these abandonments to come forward, as the mystery surrounding these related cases continues to deepen.
